I have already mentioned on another thread the colleague who couldn't decide if it was a shoe or sandal day and consequently wore one of each.

I've also worked with a chap who dropped his trousers and pants and asked his boss if he had a boil on his bum.

Brighten this grey and wet day with your tales of the eccentric behaviour of your colleagues/friends/family.....

Rather geeky chap - very unworldly, very polite, never said boo to a goose - got very excited when a (young) female colleague was wearing a summer frock with design of ancient egyptian hieroglyphics - which he claimed he could read.

Grabbed hem of skirt and lifted up for a closer look - revealing her 'interesting' underwear ... she never wore that frock at work again ...

I think that I was the eccentric colleague. My manger's boss once asked me if I had ever seen a psychiatrist.

see not a good look...

I was always the eccentric colleague.... Luckily none of mine post on here or I could be profoundly embarrassed... but I used to have a penchant for semi fancy dress think David Bowie in Labyrinth....

You certainly don't want to swivel round too quickly in that dress!

I used to work on a magazine that had a particularly competitive advertising sales force, comprising four men and one woman. The woman was a tad eccentric to say the least (OK, bonkers), and took a lot of stick from her male colleagues.

One Monday morning she was in our editorial office describing a particularly wonderful rose she'd seen at a garden centre, claiming the scent of it had brought her to orgasm. (I said she was a bit odd.) Anyway, she then wafted off into the sales office, where the lads were discussing their sexual exploits of the weekend. And I heard her say in her wonderful rich voice, 'Ah, but gentlemen, I bet none of you have ever been f ***** by Rosa rugosa 'Wild Edric' like I was yesterday.'

And with that, she swept out of the office again, leaving the guys speechless.

Are you growing tomatillos fluff?

I also worked with a great bear of a man. He was a brilliant mathematician and instead of a conventional brief case or ruck sack would turn up for meetings with a dozen carrier bags containing his work. When he needed to find a particular document he always knew which Sainsbury's bag to look in!

There was a guy who used to get on the train - loved himself - bodybuilder/fake tan, worked in an office. He would have on smart trousers,shoes,briefcase - and bare chest! He would carry his freshly ironed shirt and jacket the whole way, so people could see his rippling chest, and only put them on when he got to the office lol.

Given a choice I'd probably go for the six pack over the boil!
